Governing and Future-Proofing Data

This webinar explains data governance as a shared responsibility, not just an IT task. Participants learn the people, policies, and processes that keep data consistent, reliable, and compliant across the organisation. It emphasises building a culture where teams feel curious and confident using data, celebrating small experiments and improvements. The session explores emerging trends such as ethical AI and explainable decisions, ending with a practical reflection on immediate behaviour changes.

This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and forms part of the Data Fundamentals for Financial Services Programme, delivered by Ben Banim.
